Started to get the error "Video Remoting Was Disconnected" when connecting to a Hyper-V VM using the Admin Console on a local machine (Connecting to the VM via RDP worked fine). All of the more relevant fixes talk about changing the settings on the NIC card which seemed a bit far fetched however I tried them all and none work.

First off my config.

Windows 10 device connected to an AD domain

My domain login account has domain admin privileges

My domain login account is part of the local computers Builtin Administrators group

The problem eventually was solved by resetting the C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys folder permissions using the following commands

If you are like me you like re-using tools that you find extremely simple and easy to use. That is the case with Narayana Vyas Kondreddi’s sp_generate_inserts script for SQL Server 2000, 2005, (works with 2008 yet not documented). So when I installed SQL Server 2012 developer my first item was to re-create all of the system stored procs I have in my toolbox.

Unfortunately running the script from the above link will generate an error because the code references a system stored procedure that no longer exists in SQL Server 2012 master.dbo.sp_MS_upd_sysobj_category. This stored procedure toggles the system mode feature where any object created while the mode is enabled is flagged as a system object. Since the undocumented sproc does not exist the script will be created but it will not work properly.

However there is a small update that can be done to the original script to fix the issue.

P.S. the winner of the smack down was RoR by a significant margin. Both sessions and presenters were very informative and dove into the how each framework handles certain features and "how do you do this" in each framework.

Just want to give a big kudos to the organizers and speakers for putting on another successful code camp as well the folks over at Skullspace for hooking up free Wi-Fi for everyone in attendance.

Just an update on what I have been up to since my last post. For starters I have been putting in some time helping out with the open source project http://www.bugnetproject.com/. For the most part I have been doing slot of refactoring and general cleanup of the code base. I have also have been doing some UI standardization to make the UI more consistent across the different sections of the site.

From the site:

BugNET is an open source issue tracking project built using C# and the ASP.NET platform. The main goals are to keep the codebase simple, well documented, easy to deploy and scalable.

It has been interesting helping out on an open source project along with the other developers and I have enjoyed working on it so far. I got started working on it because the company I work for http://core49.com needed a bug tracking system that would us to track bugs/issues as well we wanted clients to be able to enter issues as well. The first thing I did for the project was update the email template engine to use Xml/Xslt to allow for an easier way to generate some of the issue emails that get sent out.

I look forward to doing more work on the project in the New Year as there are some cool ideas on the drawing board for making it even better.

This error is due to a bug in EF 4.1 where you separate the DAL and Model Entities out into different namespaces and is referenced here EF4.1 CodeFirst - entry.GetDatabaseValues() throw EntitySqlException.
